Overview

SEA BOLD was conceived by C. Raymond Hunt Associates and built by pedigreed New England Boatworks, her epoxy/e-glass over PVC coring with carbon fiber reinforcement delivering a remarkably light, strong structure that translates into poised sea-keeping, crisp performance, and notable efficiency—exactly the hallmarks of Ray Hunt Design’s legendary reputation. Casual elegance defines the ambiance, with a layout engineered for effortless operation by guests and crew alike. The accommodations set her apart: four staterooms for eight, complemented by two crew cabins for four, all maintained to a high standard through consistent upgrades, diligent service, and regular use. Practicality abounds with true walk-around side decks and generous, cleverly organized storage for lines, fenders, and gear, while the yacht’s enclosed pilothouse with a day head underscores her purposeful, all-weather capability. Comfortable gathering spaces are plentiful, with two covered exterior seating areas and 2 interior seating areas, and her Caterpillar 3412E 1400 hp diesels deliver a confident cruising speed of over 20 kts backed by New England Boatworks’ exceptional build quality.

Salon

Large seating areas with lovely sightlines define the spacious salon, where white wall and ceiling panels meet rich teak trim and cabinetry to create a quietly luxurious atmosphere that flows forward on the same level to the panoramic windows. Covered side decks temper the light and add shade, while a built‑in bar console and the graceful flybridge stairway frame the transition to the dining room and the study. Recently re‑upholstered twin sofas, a comfortable chair, and a versatile bench gather around a teak coffee table with fold‑out leaves, complemented by two stools that double as ottomans. Overhead lighting sets the tone, overhead speakers carry the audio/video system, and an adjustable‑angle TV optimizes viewing. The bar console integrates an ice maker, refrigeration, and dedicated storage, with additional cabinetry yielding supplemental stowage for an immaculately tidy, welcoming lounge.

Dining room

Forward of the bar console lies the dining room, seating eight in natural light that pours through the surrounding windows and the side deck doors. A handsome teak table is encircled by 8 leather chairs, with matching teak cabinetry, trim, and wooden blinds setting a refined tone beneath subtle overhead lighting. Port and starboard doors open to the side decks, and stairways conveniently lead up to the flybridge, aft to the guest accommodations, and forward to the galley and crew.

Study

Echoing the traditions of yachts crafted for northeastern owners, Sea Bold provides a serene study that doubles as a quiet reading retreat, bathed in the warm glow that filters through the forward windows and inviting unhurried moments of focus or repose.

Master stateroom 1

The first master stateroom features a queen berth with drawers beneath, flanked by side tables with additional drawer storage and reading lamps. Generous hanging lockers and supplementary drawers keep wardrobes organized, while overhead lights and a carpeted sole enhance comfort. Stainless steel portlights bring in natural light and fresh air, and the ensuite head with shower completes this private retreat.

Four stateroom layout

Accessed by the staircase just forward of the salon, Sea Bold’s four‑stateroom arrangement comprises two master staterooms with ensuite heads and two guest cabins with side‑by‑side berths sharing a head. The two master staterooms are joined by a closeable double door in addition to their traditional doors to the lower foyer, enabling a seamless transformation into a full‑beam master suite by replacing one of the beds with a sofa and adding a coffee table and chairs—an intelligent, flexible approach to private living afloat.

Master stateroom 2

The second master mirrors the first with a queen berth over drawer storage, side tables with drawers, and dedicated reading lamps. Hanging lockers, additional drawers, overhead lighting, and a carpeted sole create a calm, orderly environment, while stainless steel portlights and an ensuite head with shower deliver comfort and autonomy.

Guest stateroom 3

Guest stateroom three offers 2 twin berths with drawer storage beneath, a side table with drawers, and focused reading lamps. Hanging lockers and overhead lighting complement a carpeted sole, while a stainless steel portlight adds daylight.

Galley and laundry equipment

Laundry is equally well specified with an LG ThinQ washer and a Miele Touchtronic T 8005 dryer.

Enclosed bridge

A staircase forward of the salon leads to the enclosed flybridge, a commanding helm and an inviting lounge in one. Three Stidd helm chairs face a destroyer‑style stainless steel wheel and electronic single‑lever throttle/gear controls with Caterpillar ECMs, flanked by Green Marine dimmable monitors serving Radar and Time Zero functions. Navigation is comprehensive: a Furuno radar in a remote “black box” configuration with 96‑mile range, Time Zero CPU‑based charting with a wireless keyboard, Furuno TZ GPS chart/sounder/radar, 2 Furuno RD‑33 units, a Furuno GP‑33, and a Simrad/Robertson AP20 autopilot. A dedicated Green Marine dimmable monitor supports the camera systems, while a Quantum active trim tab system and Quantum bow thruster control add precise handling. Communications include 2 Sailor 6216 VHF DSC sets, complemented by a Kahlenberg air horn multifunction control and a Delta T control screen. A vast chart table with drawers, upholstered bench seating and a loose chair, a television on a gimbal, built‑in storage cabinetry, a teak sole, overhead lighting, courtesy lights for dark running, and an aft day head complete this elevated, all‑weather command center with a door to the outdoor flybridge seating and boat deck.

Flybridge outdoor seating

Aft of the enclosed flybridge, beneath the extended roof, the outdoor seating area invites easy alfresco living. To port, built‑in fiberglass seating with storage flanks a dining table between the benches, while to starboard an entertainment module integrates a sink, refrigeration, storage, and a television. With the simple addition of a cooktop or grill, this space readily becomes a secondary galley. Thoughtful amenities include a refrigerator, freezer, ice maker, sink, storage cabinets, ample bench seating, a table, and overhead lighting for twilight gatherings.

Boat deck

The boat deck is smartly equipped with ladder access to the lower aft deck, a robust davit, chock bases set into the deck, and a sail‑shade cover with removable poles to extend comfort at anchor or alongside.

Lower aft deck

The lower aft deck offers covered seating for six and a well‑placed wet bar/storage area just a few steps from the salon, with a ladder leading up to the flybridge. Waist‑high coaming with walk‑through gates provides superb protection for children and pets, so the salon door can remain open to create a seamless flow while entertaining. A canvas extension adds weather protection over the seating, and a removable sail‑shade can be extended over the open aft section where 3 additional chairs reside.

Main exterior decks

True walk‑around decks ensure unobstructed passage around the yacht, supported by in‑deck storage compartments along the side decks, a large forward coach‑top locker, and a bosun’s locker aft to starboard. Steps descend to the swim platform, which incorporates an in‑deck compartment designed to house the Tide‑Ride stair system.

Ground tackle is robust and shipshape: a VRC 4500 hydraulic vertical‑gypsy anchor windlass, a primary 108 lbs. CQR plow anchor, a Fortress anchor, and 300 feet of 5/8" HT chain. Aft, 2 MUIR VC 4000 hydraulic capstans port and starboard ease line handling. A 6'‑wide swim platform streamlines watersports and tender access, with dedicated internal storage for the boarding passerelle when not in use, complemented by UMT boarding stairs, 2 ACR searchlights, aft deck floodlights, a transom shower, and midships boarding gates.

Crew quarters

Forward of the galley, two crew staterooms—one to port and one to starboard—each provide over‑and‑under bunks and an ensuite head, with drawers and hanging lockers for orderly stowage. Reading lights, overhead lighting, and stainless steel portlights create a comfortable, practical environment purpose‑built for capable crew.
